What goes around comes around?

[Spud]

Do you believe in this ?as I have disappointed by the actions of a couple of mates recently

 

[prceramics]

totally mate karma

 

[Ian]

Only thing I genuinely believe in, treat people how you want to be treated and all that.

You generally find what goes around comes around aahhh.

Trouble is these days bad behaviour is dressed up as " its only business nothing personal" so I deleted 3 business contacts numbers today as I dont like the way they do business so I wont be dealing with them again

 

[Ian]

I've been let down by so many people over the years that I trust only a handful of people nowadays, it's a sad way to be but, 90% of people aren't worth the time of day. Just got sick of giving, giving, giving and getting nothing back.

Ahhhhh. Business is business they say but you have to keep your head on and expect to be ripped off from time to time I guess. Makes you wonder how the likes of Steve Jobs got away with ripping so many people off though and still managed to build the biggest tech company going.

Dog eat dog mate. Go eat 'em.

They come, they go, but don't burn bridges, sometimes they come back again lesson learned ;-)

I find in life Dan some people deserve each other and its no sweat when they think they have got one over on, true colours always come out in the end and sharks swim with sharks imo

I got taken for £3.5k by a plumber. What goes around and all that, I'm biding my time.

Look after number one mate as nobody else will bother in the end.

I've got to say since I spent 10 years in NZ I have a different approach to people most of the time. Treat others as you expect to be treated and you won't go too far wrong. I found kiwi's very positive people and very much a can do attitude. Sadly lacking in the UK nowadays. Dog eat dog and who can hit over next. Not nice.

very true but surprising when it comes from family/friends but a wake up call helping you realise they were not the people you thought they were

Yes good call. But I don't think you will or can ever see it coming from friends or family. Worst sort of kick in the nuts!!!! There is still more good people than bad though remember that.

I really hope it's true as I've been stitched good and proper

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i'am a bit like Dan in my outlook at the moment as i have been badly treated ,and i just cant believe how bad some peeps are they really will take you for everything, i'am just not programmed in the same way as these scum,

 

[Spud]

True Dave they are scum,I can not understand how some people think sometimes

 

[White Room]

They don't do it once or twice, some just make a career out of ripping people off...

 

[Pebbs]

I deal with a lot of 'scum bags' at one company in particular, who will remain nameless. So last year I finally had enough, and refused to give them any estimates, that way we would not get stitched up in the future. They gave me the old twaddle...very disappointed in you Lynn..the usual stuff. What is the point in doing a contract knowing full well they are going to take 14 weeks to pay, and then knock the last invoice? You have to be on your guard at all times now, if they can they will fleece you, doesn't matter how long you have known them, doesn't matter if they come to your Christmas drink ups, nothing counts these days, they will stab you in the back, if they think they can get one over on you. You don't need these so called 'mates' don't answer the calls don't reply to their emails, they soon get the message. Its not a case of burning your bridges its a case of self preservation and retaining your sanity.

See I wish I'd have been able to say that like that :lol: - Mine comes out all wrong.

I guess you can only do that if you've got enough work on otherwise though as if they're paying fair price for the work they do give you, then it's bread and butter at least?
